“As already stated in your own words, ‘the geographical position of Germany seems to set fixed limits to her ambitions’; and since Great Britain has no territorial ambitions in Asiatic Turkey—as it is recognized at last, even in Turkey—there is everything to be gained by their loyal and whole-hearted co-operation. But only on such lines. (Signed) “H. P. PICOT.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INDEX Abdul Aziz, 20, 27, 163, 181, 234, 238, 258 Abdul Hamid, and the Marquis of Salisbury, 1; works of, 8, 51–54,164–166; and the Armenians, 20, 57; and the Germans, 22, 270; and Ahmed Midhat Effendi, 25, 26; popularity, 27–28, 180–182, 238–239, 243; and Dr. Hepworth, 60–61, 128–129; and Mr. Whitman, 30–35, 51, 61, 170; and the Press, 148–149; deposition, 150, 177–178; ceremony of the Selamlik, 154–158, 178–182; account of, 159–182; promise of Nicholas of Russia to, 162, 277 _and note_; personality, 166–167, 234, 237–238, 254–255; and Mr. Whittaker, 171; and Professor Vambéry, 171–172; audiences, 179–180; stories of his diplomacy,184; spies of, 201; and the Fehim Pasha incident, 264, 266–267, 270; mentioned in Professor Vambéry’s letters, 285, 286–287, 288–292; William II and, 294–295 Abdul Medjid, 261; reforms of, 229–230 Abraham Pasha, 19–20 Abyssinia, Christian monasteries of, 254 Adrianople, peace of, 1829, 106 Ahmed Midhat, account of, 25–28, 235–236; letter in Turkish to Mr. Whitman, 107–108; conversations with, 216–224, 225, 247, 257, 265; stories of Mohammed’s life told by, 258–260 Aintab in Syria, 63, 112, 114 Aja Sophia of Constantinople, 28, 87 Ala Dagh, the, 105 Alaskird, 97 Albanian Redifs, the, 45, 155 Albanians in Salonica, 40 Albigenses, the, 262 Albrecht, Archduke, 182 Alexander of Battenberg, Prince, and the Mohammedan element, 242 Alexander of Servia, 59 Alexandretta, 63, 81, 115–117 Alidjekrek affair of 1896, 97 Ambassadors in Constantinople, position of, 186–169; types, 189–193; social life, 193–194; Turkish, 194–195 American element in Erzeroum, 99–100; interest in Anatolia, 121 _and note_ Anatolia, the mission to, 60; reforms, 63, 70, 76, 79–81, 278; prosperity, 165; German interests, 295 Anatolian Railway, the, 268, 275 _and note_ Anatolius, General, 90 Anglicans, 228 Angora, prosperity of, 165 Arab types in Turkey, 233, 248 Aram Aramian, arrest, 97 Ararat, Mount, 109 Arians, the, 223 Armenak Dermonprejan, arrest, 97 Armenia, military service in, 75–76; people of, 118–119, 120 _and note_ “Armenian Atrocities,” rising of 1895–6, 70–79, 170; the outbreak in Constantinople, 10–35 Armenian Cemetery, Constantinople, 18 Armenian Committees, 13, 74, 127 Armenian schools, 63, 66, 75, 99, 127
